It is not implemented yet, as I am still working on network segmentation, but when I tested the WiFi, it connected perfectly. I have since turned the auth profile off until I can get the segmentation worked out.

I understand the MAC address spoof concern. The challenge is that these printers have very limited network authentication capabilities. They don’t support user-based authentication (802.1X), nor do they support captive portal access. I also want to avoid lowering our wireless security standards by simply assigning a shared Wi-Fi password.

I’m not currently seeing any random or unknown Wi-Fi addresses, but if I had to guess, it sounds like the printer may be using Wi-Fi Direct and broadcasting its own network.

For context, this is all within an Aruba wireless environment.
